Our first night in Malaga after 2 weeks of eating tapas we needed a change and this was perfect. It was Friday night and the atmosphere was perfect, a buzz of chatter from the Spanish at the bar a few couples eating and some music playing in the background. The waiter was fantastic recommending food go fit our desires and... More

Small restaurant with very frendly owner. We had Hummus and very nice pitta for starters accompanied by Alhambra beer which I highly recommend. We then had chicken tangine which was cooked to perfection. Finished off with mint tea and lovely morrocan cakes which if you go there do have them, fantastic. Inexpensive place to eat, service excellent, food delicious, whats... More

Dined here in.early March 2013. We shared various plates including freshly baked pitta and hummus, kofta and a special lamb dish, washed down with a nice rosado wine. The service was friendly and prompt. Would recommend this restaurant :)

Al-Yamal is an Arabic/Moroccan restaurant tucked away in a side street off the Alameda Principal, so it is close to the main thoroughfares (and the Larios shopping street). The restaurant is quite small (most of the seating is in six booths) so it is probably best making a reservation. The waiter (owner?) greeted us well and was friendly. For starters... More

This arab/moroccan restaurant located in front of the harbour of Malaga serves excellent moroccan food in a charming atmosphere. The restaurant is very little so I suggest you to reserve also for lunch time. Food is over the top, the different tastes are perfectly mixed up for a feast of middle east flavours that tantalise your mouth, the owner is... More

Very stylish restaurant, ambience very good. Unfortunately as we ate early, initially we were the only diners, but that is no fault of the restaurant. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The moroccan food was very good. We would definitely go again.

 Restaurant ‘Al-Yamal’ is in the increasingly popular transitional neighbourhood now christened ‘SoHo’. The restaurant is hard to find, on a quiet city block, but the interior is full of charm; this is a family restaurant with authentic arabic food. Mother is in the kitchen and the son is front of house. Service is swift and friendly and the food is... More
